The program called for setting aside the legal rules for presidential succession in some circumstances, in favor of a secret procedure for putting in place a new "President" and his staff. The idea was to concentrate on speed, to preserve "continuity of government," and to avoid cumbersome procedures; the speaker of the House, the president pro tempore of the Senate, and the rest of Congress would play a greatly diminished role.

I can see the need for 'a plan' under extreme/disaster circumstances, but who ok'd THIS plan? Congress? The People? Oh wait, it's a SECRET....and the plan itself is SECRET. I guess it's gotta stay a 'secret', because no one would like/agree to it? hmmmmm.....
